Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Archive's molecular transformation of the Enterprise in Masks foreshadows Beverly's forensic analysis of the ship's walls in Eye of the Beholder. The idea that the ship (and crew's bodies) can be reshaped by external forces (Masks) directly enables the discovery of Finn's embedded bones (Eye of the Beholder)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection ties the two episodes' scientific/mysterymysteries together. The Archive's molecular reshaping (Masks) legitimizes the possibility of hidden physical traces in the ship (Eye of the Beholder), making the latter's revelation plausible.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
